When you buy or build a new home you are faced with a decision to make. Should I build a traditional fence or hire someone to install and underground fence system.
Why Install and Underground Fence?
One of the main reason’s customers are installing underground fence’s today has to do with their home owner’s association bylaws. Many new neighborhoods in the Omaha area either don’t allow fence’s or require home owners to install very expensive Iron fences that can be cost prohibitive.
In fact a friend of mine recently built a home in a neighborhood that requires iron fences. He decide to have one built around their back yard for their medium sized dog that they had recently rescued.
After the installer finished up and left they let their dog out to run free for the first time in their back yard. A few minutes later they looked in the back yard and he was gone. He had slipped right through the bars! Luckily they were able to find him before he got too far.
Unfortunately they had to pay the installer to come back and install another set of bars between each of the bars so he wouldn’t be able to escape again.
Is Cost a Factor?
Cost Can definitely be a factor when you consider a containment system for your pets. Per linear foot underground fences tend to be the most cost effective option compared to traditional fence types. While prices vary by the size of yards and number of dogs a customer has, installation of a DogPro fence in an average size yard is generally under $1,000.
